To earn points, invited participants will duke it out across six rounds. The twist will be limited communication, with only the captains getting to speak. Meanwhile, other players will depend on in-game pings and their captain's leadership abilities.

“Women are actively shaping the future of gaming,” ClaraAtWork, who is also a Complexity Twitch streamer, said.

ClaraAtWork added how her partners in Complexity Gaming and JBL will boost representation for women as competitors and leaders. She said that she's proud to work with brands that empower women and prioritize inclusivity.

“Despite continued growth and progress over the past decade, gaming and esports remain predominantly comprised of men, so we’re co-hosting Clara’s Legends to spotlight women creators who are actively changing the game,” Kyle Bautista, the COO of Complexity Gaming, said.

Bautista added that Complexity Gaming is dedicated to doing its part in making the gaming space more welcoming to the current and future generation.

As for where to watch the women-led Apex Legends tournament, it will start at 12 p.m. PT on Dec. 3 on Complexity’s Twitch channel plus each content creator’s personal ones.
